I’ve added a new behavior and added the code below just to test to see if my override is working however this never gets called within my behavior. Is there something else I need to do to make it work?

public function beforeSave(Event $event, EntityInterface $entity, ArrayObject $options)  
{  
echo ‘blah’;  
die;  
}

I solved this and it was pretty simple. In my attempt to be very organized I had the table class defined in a sub folder like Table\Client\Table.php instead of Table\Table.php and the location of the files seem to be pretty important.
